Message: [QUOTE="CaliCuse, post: 1778715, member: 324"] I feel bad about not mentioning a friend who has passed Fred Deblon who jumped on Î-Day with the 82nd Airbourne behind enemy lines Fred didn't speak about "killing Nazis but he was proud of not killing a young German officer in one of Hitler's lairs He came upon the German in a file room and was preparing to destroy documents there. Fred could have dropped him at that moment bu decided not to do so. I wonder if that kid remember tat moment if he lived long enough to appreciate that moment of mercy. I know that Fred was involved with action on a ˝remain bridge and that fight put down some German soldiers. This I got from his wife who is still alive in NJ although she is very sick. My wife and her are close friends. I won't forget my old friend. He deserves my memory and will have it until I croak. [/QUOTE]
